What Causes Abnormal Noises from a Car's Chassis?
1 Answers
Abnormal noises from a car's chassis are mainly caused by loose, worn, or failed components in the steering system, suspension system, or braking system. Suspension System Malfunction: Noises heard when the vehicle is turning may indicate issues with the steering system or suspension system. During turns, the vehicle's tilt causes deformation in the suspension system, which also participates in the movement. Braking System Component Failure: Abnormal noises while driving on good road conditions may be due to faults in braking system components. This could be caused by loose or worn brake parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. Suspension System Issues: Noises occurring when driving on poor road surfaces are mostly related to the suspension system. They may also be caused by loose braking components. Noises during acceleration, deceleration, or stopping are primarily caused by the suspension and braking systems. Suspension system noises often manifest as friction sounds.
